Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, California is home to an entire beach of small pieces of glass. It is the result of a town dump which started back in 1906 and was shut down in 1967. What remains are millions and millions of these colorful glass particles.

    Unbelievable colors and amount of glass. Red and blue are always the rarest.
  • Unfortunately now it's plastics. You could argue that glass can be recycled by nature at least.

    Fun fact, on the Isle of Wight south of uk, they recycle glass into ballast for concreting and when the concrete is finished you see all the bits of glass in it.
  • Its sad that even though we trash our ocean the ocean tries to make it beautiful.

    I'm a chronic rock picker and I would be in HEAVEN. Thank you for showing it

    A lot of those striking colored glass are depression glass pieces. Many people still collect depression glass plates glasses and such.
  • Went to glass beach back when I was about 8 on a camping trip! Wasn’t really frowned upon to take glass back then, I had a ziplock full of amber blue red and white glass for the colors of America. Won’t ever forget that

    Growing up with a crafty mother there was always a lot of sea glass in our house. She loved crafting with it and glued it to everything she could!! Every time I see it I think of my Mom. She would have loved this place!

    Wow!! Love looking for sea glass I’ve found some along Lake Erie and even in Cuba when I was stationed there. But never to that extent. That would be fun to walk that beach.

    I am glad that a place like this so close to my home has became a tourist attraction. And yes, the glass is okay to take. None of the three sites are illegal to take glass from. Fort Bragg is not a state Park, or anything, taking the glass is basically considered cleaning up the environment.

    My dad did his training at Fort Ord which now sits empty with all the homeless people I don't understand why they can't reopen and teach them to take care of the place that way they'd have an address and be able to be kept a better eye on and possibly receive medical treatment and some well needed psychiatric treatment, instead of letting the place right away my dad went back to visit recently and said he was very upset at the state of Fort Ord. He said they kept that place in Immaculate condition and it was a source of Pride for the officers being that was her home away from home and now it sits with the grass unkempt. It really upset my old man. He was stationed there waiting to take off for Vietnam witch fortunately didn't happen for him his number never came up thank God thank God
  • I love beach glass. You can make beautiful artwork and jewelry with beach glass
  • I grew up in Mendocino County, CA. My parents were teachers, and after taking classes where they learned to make art from found objects, had interest in Glass Beach. We visited Glass Beach several times in the 1970s and I continued to visit there through the 1980s, 90s and 2000s on trips home after I moved out of state. Over the years a lot of glass was removed, and the last time I went there, there was not as much glass as you found. Winter storms move the contents of the beach around, so more washes up. In the 1970s, to get to Glass Beach, you had to trespass through lumber mill property. There were no trails or signs. You had to be in the know to get there. It is a secret no longer, but is much easier to get to. Glass Beach is one of my favorite places!
